BWMS Parent Update
8/2/19
Welcome to the 2019-20 School Year
The faculty and staff are excited for the beginning of the new school year. We believe in our mission to inspire and guide each of our students to their maximum potential. To accomplish this task, we work hard to personalize instruction, engage students and use data to support learning.
Personally, I cannot wait for you to hear from your student how much they love BWMS!
If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame
Important Information to Start the Year
- The Online PowerSchool Portal will be available on Thursday August 8th. This will include student schedules, locker information and bus routes. *Note: locker and bus route information is only available via the web/computer portal and is not available in the phone app. If you have a question about your bus route, you can call Transportation at 740-965-8967
- We invite all of our Parents and Students to our BWMS Meet & Greet on Monday August 12th. Last Names A-K will be from 10-11 and Last Names L-Z will report from 11-12. The first session will begin with a Message from the Principal in the Gym at 10:00 and the second session will finish with a Message from the Principal in the Gym at 12:00. Students can walk the schedule, check the locker and socialize with their teachers in the commons/gym. Food trucks will be available from 10-1 on site for your convenience. We look forward to meeting all of you.
- All students will receive a copy of their schedule in 1st period class on Wednesday August 15th. 1st period classes will be posted in the student areas.
- Parent Drop Off and Pick Up should use Fairlawn Drive. This is for the safety of our students riding the buses coming in from the Cheshire Road entrance. We ask that you pull all the way down to the Orange Cone so we can drop off and pick up as many students as possible.
- BWMS cannot provide supervision of students until 7:15 AM each morning so we ask that parents arrange drop off schedules accordingly. At that time, all students report to the cafeteria until they are released at the first bell at 7:30 AM.
